lyrics

culture of escapism and normalised addiction
self medication to soften the suffer of these bleak days
means to end but what end/
which way to take?
another sip/shot..
just need a break from my brain, from this place..
black out cycle feeds into itself
one more until no one/nothing left
to fight what we've had for half our lives
no help if we can't help ourselves
